Autodesk® Building Design Suite is a comprehensive building software solution, combining the tools building professionals need for both CAD and Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows in a single economical and convenient purchase. The Standard version of the suite combines AutoCAD and the AutoCAD products specifically designed for building designers, drafters and detailers. The Advanced version of the suite contains everything in the Standard version but adds the power of Building Information Modeling (BIM) for architects and engineers while the Ultimate version builds upon the value of the Premium version by adding tools that are ideally suited for construction professionals.

AutoCAD® Revit® Architecture Suite software turns maximum flexibility into competitive advantage. Combining AutoCAD®, AutoCAD® Architecture, and Autodesk® Revit® Architecture software applications into a single, comprehensive suite allows you to transition to building information modeling (BIM), while protecting your legacy software,training, and design data investments. Purpose-built for BIM, Autodesk Revit Architecture delivers a powerful competitive advantage by helping to speed creative design work,facilitate analysis for sustainable design, and automatically deliver coordinated, consistent documentation. Support ongoing work in either AutoCAD or AutoCAD Architecture while you make the switch to BIM with Autodesk Revit Architecture.

Autodesk® Revit® Architecture software works the way architects and designers think about buildings, so you can develop higher-quality, more accurate architectural designs. Built for Building Information Modeling (BIM), Autodesk Revit Architecture helps you to capture and analyze design concepts, and more accurately maintain your vision through design, documentation, and construction. Use the information-rich models that Autodesk Revit Architecture provides to make more informed design decisions to support sustainable design, clash detection, construction planning, and fabrication. Any change you make is updated throughout your project, keeping your design and documentation coordinated and more reliable. More easily share model data across the design team for a collaborative design process that helps deliver projects efficiently.

Autodesk® Factory Design Suite 2012 is a 2D & 3D factory layout and optimization solution that helps you make better layout decisions by creating a digital prototype of your factory. It provides tools for optimizing 2D layouts for efficient material flow, integrating 2D layout data with 3D models of machine and facility components, and 3D factory-specific visualization and analysis to help teams make better layout decisions before any equipment is installed. Only Factory Design Suite offers unique factory-specific functionality in AutoCAD® and Autodesk® Inventor® software and combines them with powerful visualization and analysis tools that can foster greater collaboration, flexibility, and innovation when responding to changing business requirements

AutoCAD® Architecture software is the version of AutoCAD® software for architects. Create designs and documentation more efficiently using tools specifically for architects. Tedious drafting tasks are automated, helping you to reduce errors. Familiar AutoCAD working methods and an intuitive environment provide immediate productivity gains while giving you the flexibility to learn additional features at your own pace. Authentic DWG™ technology helps make it easier to share and communicate designs with engineers and the extended project team. Help accelerate project reviews and approvals using integrated rendering tools to create more realistic design visualizations. AutoCAD Architecture offers a faster way of working for architects familiar with AutoCAD.

Autodesk® Navisworks® Manage software is a comprehensive project review solution that supports analysis, simulation, and communication of design intent and constructability. Multidisciplinary design data created in a broad range of Building Information Modeling (BIM), digital prototype, and process plant design applications can be combined into a single integrated project model. Interference management and clash detection tools help design and construction professionals anticipate and avoid potential problems before construction begins, minimizing expensive delays and rework. Navisworks Manage combines spatial coordination with the project schedule to deliver 4D simulation and analysis. Entire project models can be published and freely viewed in NWD and DWF™ file formats.

Autodesk® Navisworks® Simulate software provides advanced tools for and powerful features to help you better communicate project information. Multidisciplinary design data created in a broad range of Building Information Modeling (BIM), digital prototype, and process plant design applications can be combined into a single, integrated project model. Comprehensive 4D scheduling, animation, and photorealism capabilities assist users in demonstrating design intent and simulating construction, helping to drive insight and predictability. Real-time navigation combines with a review toolset to support collaboration among the project team. Entire project models can be published and viewed in NWD and DWF™ file formats to provide valuable digital assets during and after construction.

Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design 2012 software delivers powerful new rendering toolsets, enhanced iterative workflows, and an accelerated graphics core that together help increase overall productivity. Featuring the physically accurate iray® renderer from mental images, versatile procedural textures, and stylized rendering capabilities, 3ds Max Design 2012 helps designers present their creative vision more effectively. Moreover, with the Nitrous render-qualiity accelerated viewports, designers can more rapidly iterate on their ideas to achieve more compelling end results. And, with new interoperability with Autodesk® Alias® industrial design applications and automated workflows with AutoCAD® Civiil 3D® software, designers can more seamlessly aggregate their CAD data into powerful storytelling visualizations.
